Windows 10: How do I choose which library to open or create a new library in the Apple Music app on...

I have installed the Apple Music app on my Windows 11 computer. On my Windows 10 computer using iTunes I could open different music libraries by using the shift key while opening iTunes and then selecting the library I want to open. Apple says to choose which library to open in Apple Music you hold down the shift key while opening the Apple Music app. However, when I do this I do not get the option to create new or open existing libraries, it just opens the existing library. Should holding the shift key down whilst opening the Apple Music app give the option to choose from multiple librarie

Duplicate Music Library Sign Windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for posting your question in Microsoft community.

I understand your concern regarding the issue that you are facing.

Can you check if both the folders contain all the music that you need?

Where the original files are saved so that we can troubleshoot this issue further?

I suggest you to follow the below steps to resolve the issue.

Method: Restore default Libraries

I would suggest you try the restore library option and check if it helps. Please back up all the files in the library before trying this, just to make sure you don’t lose any files. Refer these steps:

• Open Windows explorer
• In the left panel, locate Library and right click on it
• Click “restore default libraries” option
• Check if the issue persists.

Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.

 

Library folder create new library not working (not available)

See this: Create New Library in Windows 10
Pictures will help understand my problem.

Create new library 3 methods. Only Method 3 works for me.
1) Explorer Library Folder: right-click -> New -> (Empty) --- Library is missing, actual text displayed is (Empty)
2) ... on ribbon : New Item --- no drop down --- does nothing. In a normal folder, it does drop down with list of types to create.

Note: on the left side if you right click on the "Library" - the same (Empty) for option New is displayed (Like Method 1 above)

Any ideas on how to fix this? I assume a registry entry or 2.. is missing or damaged.

Thanks.
